They want him, whom they understand to have greater experience and skill as a dimensional traveller than themselves, to help them enter [[Dimension Zeta-32-Orangepeel-Grbbrzkwlkglb]], a heavily-reinforced [[pocket universe]] that is the refuge of the survivors of a [[pandimensional war (The Winter Quests)|pandimensional war]]. To CS-NA's surprise, the Fish's motives are purely altruistic: reasoning that, most likely, no magical gift-givers like [[Santa Claus]] or [[the Toymaker]] have been able to get to these survivors, the Fish have gathered presents to bring to them, intending to reintroduce them to Christmas fun. Not without difficulties, CS-NA, from the crow's-nest of the ''Fish'n'Ship'', manages to get them to navigate past the barrier around the pocket dimension. They are welcomed in good cheer after the initial suspicion is gotten over, and CS-NA, having puzzled out that “Fun” is another one of the Fundmanetal Elements of Holiday Joy that he's been compiling, agrees to join the festivities before he helps the Fish back out through the barrier and continues his journeys. | They want him, whom they understand to have greater experience and skill as a dimensional traveller than themselves, to help them enter [[Dimension Zeta-32-Orangepeel-Grbbrzkwlkglb]], a heavily-reinforced [[pocket universe]] that is the refuge of the survivors of a [[pandimensional war (The Winter Quests)|pandimensional war]].

====Chapter 13==== | |||
After the doorway closes behind them, [[Pythagoras-858]], [[Juliet-178]] and [[Tero Trollgarsson]] cautiously enter the [[World Below]], which remains lit in orange hues from no visible source. They make their way through cavern after cavern, discussing the prophecy, until they bump into a [[Jormungandir|giant serpent]] emerging from the ground. A confused and confusing serpent about whether he is a “serpent” or a “[[wyrm]]” ensues, which the Troll cuts short, ignoring the “confuse not your wyrms” verse of [[Odin#In the Prime Universe|Odin]]'s [[prophecy]] and ruling that [[Sigyn|the goddess]] should have been more careful in setting the terms of the quest if she wanted more precise results, and that from where he's standing, the sooner he slays ''a'' snake and thus technically fulfills the quest, the sooner he can go home. Picking up a broken stalagmite to use as a weapon, he charges at the humongous serpent. | |||
